The Iphone it wasn't the first smartphone, but its arrival in 2007 changed that. It has made the smartphone a desirable object, for its design and available functions. It took the rest of the world five years to catch up, but now they all leave at par. For us this competition is an advantage, because the quality of different platforms and prices for each wallet has increased. Which one to buy among them becomes a personal choice. The iPhone 5 remains at the top, but Android phones,
such as Nexus 4 e Samsung Galaxy S III, those with Windows Phone 8, like Nokia Lumia 920 e HTC Windows Phone 8X, represent valid alternatives. They all have great build, high performance, and plenty of features for email, web browsing, media playback, applications, and games. The main differences are in screen size and look, with some looking like bricks. One thing, however, on which everyone agrees, is that the key factor is the price, especially if you buy a phone separately from its SIM.
Often the choice of the phone starts from the platform. Many apologies to RIM and Canonical, waiting to see what BlackBerry and Ubuntu Mobile can offer, but the lion's share is made by iOS, Android, and Windows Phone. If you move from one platform to another, you need to replace accessories and applications with obvious additional costs.
In most cases, especially if you migrate to Android, you shouldn't have any problems with your music and movie collections. II iOS benefits from being the most stable in the smartphone industry for a long time. Without a doubt, IOS 6 is smooth, secure, and very intuitive. Even though Android now has plenty of apps available, the iPhone remains the phone of choice for developers. Whatever you want to do on the iPhone, there is an app to do it. What iOS lacks is the choice between multiple phones. It is still possible to buy the iPhone 4 and 4S, in addition to the 5, but it is not possible to run the operating system on a cell phone from another manufacturer. Also, unless you unlock it, you can only install apps from the Apple Store. Sure you don't acquire malware, but it remains Apple's worldview. Also, with iTunes there are limits to the use of music and movies.
Android it has come a long way, but not all its operating systems are the same. In fact, there are many phones to choose from, but not all of them integrate the same Android operating system. This is because Android, to some extent, is open and hardware manufacturers can choose which version to use and even modify it. This gives the manufacturer an incentive, allowing him more personalization of the phone. Checking which version of Android is on your smartphone can make a difference in user experience and for which applications you can install and run. High-end phones, such as the Samsung Galaxy Note and the Google Nexus4, integrate Android Jelly Bean, respectively with versions 4.1 and 4.2. Other newer phones, like the Sony Xperia T and HTC Desire X offer the previous Ice Cream, both of which are good mobile operating systems and come close to iOS in smoothness and ease of use. This wide choice also applies to the purchase of music, videos and apps. It also allows phone makers to experiment with new products such as the Galaxy Note II, a smartphone / tablet hybrid. On the other hand, with Android it is easier to be attacked by malware, both with purchases made within Google Play, and from other sources.
Windows Phone 8 by diffusion it is the third operating system, and is now present on many phones. Like Apple's platform, it has a well-curated store, much less number of apps available. It is beautiful to look at and easy to use, and the fact that it requires very low specs allows any phone to run smoothly. Internet Explorer guarantees perfect mobile browsing and Windows Phone 8 allows optimal use of e-mail and social messaging in a single box.
Having made this long premise on the importance of the operating system, we see below valide alternativa all'iPhone:
Nexus 4: a high-end smartphone that has its strong point in the quality / price ratio. Build quality and performance are unsurpassed by any other Android phone. It is the real deal.
